Today I thought I would have a chance to see Drake performing live at the sea port in NYC. Boy was I wrong. My P.I.C. and I rolled up trying to make our way through the crowd, I got bumped, stepped on, and pushed way too many times.
That is when my 28-year-old-spidi-sense kicked in. I knew that the pier was over capacity. I knew standing there in that sea of people that if something happened, there was no room to run. I had visions of the Rhode Island Club Fire, and thought, "I will be damned if I get trampled for Drake." So, we left.
As we are walking away from the seaport, thousands more were heading down there. With my own eyes I saw people throwing soda cans at each other - I knew I had no business being there. Foresight is 20/20. Watch this video to see some of what went down.
Be sure to thank Drake later.
UPDATE: So last night others had a chance to upload their video of the event, and it as worse than I thought. People were throwing chairs off the balcony and throwing glass bottles. THANK YOU JESUS FOR MY COMMON SENSE.
"Wouldn't have let that shit happen to me though . . . " is what my P.I.C would have said:

ReplyDelete@Ladycam - I could not agree more! Yes Drizzy baby, please come back to NYC. According to the promoters twitter, they said they were going to make it up to the fans. We shall see.
